Bug description

When editing a user you have searched via Search account and groups, the Member of the following groups and Admin of the following groups Dropdowns are empty.

When I pick the user from the full Userlist without any Text in the Search Field, the Member/Admin-Group Fields are filled.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to Accounts (/settings/users/)
  2. Type in a Username in the Searchbox below + New Account
  3. Click on the pen (edit) on the right side to edit the user.
  4. The Fields/Dropdown of Member of the following groups and Admin of the following groups are empty.
  5. Clear the Searchbox, look for the same user by hand and now the edit works.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue from Accounts at /settings/users/ by comparing a searched user with the same user selected from the unfiltered list. Trace how the edit view loads the member and administrator group fields in each case; done means both dropdowns are populated consistently for searched users.
